[NFS] Child datasets / server side copy

[Deleted member 104047]

Hello everyone,

I've set up some datasets like this:

> Pool
>> Downloads
>> Media
>>> Movies
>>> Series
>>> Music

And I shared Downloads and Media as two separate NFS shares. For Media I've set "All Directories".
On the client I mount these folders to /mnt/downloads and /mnt/media.

I faced two problems:
- I can't access the child datasets / subfolders of Media.
- Copying files from Downloads to Media takes a while because everything is sent over my 1Gbit network.

How would a proper setup of this look like?

This is expected behavior for NFS. You can't access child datasets.

- Copying files from Downloads to Media takes a while because everything is sent over my 1Gbit network.

Server-side copy and mountpoint traversal are both possible over SMB :)

So you think I should just switch everything over to SMB?
